Situation in Rangoon
Interview with a local resident of Rangoon Rampant searches
"Though everything seems normal today, there are rampant searches and interrogations. Both police and soldiers can still be seen in the city. Security forces are conducting rampant searches and interrogations at bus stands particularly in Sule, Hledan and Myaynikone areas. Civilians are made to show their purses, handbags, and cameras are being seized. And if they see anything suspicious they will make arrests."
"The barbed wire barricades in Sule area have been removed this morning. But there are still about 250 to 300 soldiers and riot police."
Situation in Shwedagon
"There are about 15 soldiers guarding the western gate of Shwedagon, and no one is entering from the west gate. And there are about 15 military trucks near the northern gate near the Arrzanikone. While some soldiers are sitting, some remain standing and some are sleeping."
City patrolling
"Three military trucks are constantly patrolling the city. There are about 100 riot policemen, and members of Swan Arrshin. They will rush to places where they hear there is a commotion."
